Plum Rose Manicure

Hello friends,
Today I have a manicure with a trio of colors and a bit of stamping. I took pictures in stages, so you'll get an idea of how it was done.

I didn't over think which colors to use on which nail. However, I did want the rose gold foil polish to go on the ring finger.

No striping tape for me. Nope, not today. It's not that I'm so level handed that I don't need help with straight lines, I just got lucky. Yes, the stars were aligned and the moon was in proper placement for the making of a miracle. And drawing straight lines (diagonal nonetheless!) is indeed, quite a miracle. Who says dreams don't come true?

I might never be able to do this again, so check out my straight lines one more time.

Ok, next comes my favorite technique, reverse stamping, also known as advanced stamping, decals...whatever. It's all the same and fun to do. Unfortunately, I didn't photo my work station as I did the decals, but suffice it to say that I used black MdU with plum and rose gold polishes to fill in the spaces. Two fingers were enough, don't you think? For some reason, I wanted to use a rhinestone. There you have it!

Next week, I plan to do a silvery blue manicure. Until then, enjoy your weekend.
Ciao Bellas!
